When you are truly present, you illuminate everything around you.
Leonard Jacobson

What are you going to do? Are you going to keep looking backwards, full of anger, resentment and unfulfilled desire. Or are you going to be here now. Because everything is available for you in the here and now. Love, compassion, silence, bliss and Oneness.

Image
The underlying motivation that drives all addiction is our insistence on avoiding pain. However, the pain you are avoiding is based in the past, and has nothing to do with the present moment.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
If your commitment is to being present, then there will come a time when being present becomes your natural state. The present moment becomes your home. You will have short excursions into the world of the mind, but you never go so far into the mind that you get lost there.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
You cannot be present in an abstract way. Presence is not about disappearing into nothingness. You can only be present with something that is actually here.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
It is a mistake to imagine that you can awaken in any kind of permanent way. There is only NOW and so you can only be awake now. Even the idea of permanence is an illusion. The question to ask is 'Am I awake and fully present NOW?' That question arises and is answered in perfect silence.

Beyond all experience is the one who is experiencing. Beyond all change is the One who never changes.

Image
It's not them, it's you. It's not there, it's here. It's not then, it's now.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
When you are fully present, you transcend duality and open into Oneness. In Presence, there is power without opposition. There is love without hate, acceptance without judgment and allowing without control.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
THE JOURNEY IS FROM HERE TO HERE. AND THE ONLY TIME YOU CAN ARRIVE IS NOW.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
In the awakened state, the mind is either perfectly silent or it is a perfectly clear instrument of expression.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
I cannot tell you anything that you don't already know, but it is known in silence.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
It is far wiser to ask for a question than an answer. When you think you have all the answers, it simply means you have run out of questions.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
The only moment ever available to you is the present moment. Everything else is memory or imagination.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
It disguises it’s thoughts as your thoughts, it’s feelings with your feelings, you think it’s you.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
You spend very little time in the present moment. Reality exists only in the present moment. Therefore you spend very little time in reality.
